I didn’t. It is normally orange, but extra crud could explain why starting has sucked and hasn’t seemed to have as much pep lately.

Also I think I found the source of one of my oil leaks was the lip not being polished like many reconditioned flywheels. This prevents the rear main seal from sealing against the surface. watch out buying the cheapest refurbished flywheel. Should have sourced one like the image below.

My fuel filter probably needs to be done, but honestly I’m scared of the fuel filter. The process doesn’t look so complicated, but I see myself spilling vastly more gas than this guy:

My dealer is charging me 30 mins of labor to do it next week. (Mine is leaking onto the road)

I will gladly pay 50 bucks to not get covered in fuel.
